Notepad3: Zoom % Display On Startup

[networkproblemsolver]

Is there a way to disable the "Zoom % Display On Startup" ???

I have my Zoom set to 140%... but I don't want to be told on startup.

(also, if I press the ESC key, it will close the "Zoom display" but not exit...)

Thx!

This issue has been debated with issue: #978
I think that the "Tooltip" (Zoom) is displaying for "3.2 sec." 😏

The behavior of "Esc" is depending of this setting:

Hello @RaiKoHoff ,
What about my suggestion: https://github.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3/issues/978#issuecomment-469681875

• default remains "3200" "_DelayClearZoomCallTip(3200);"
• "0" Tooltip "Zoom" would be disable. 🤔

[RaiKoHoff]

Here you are:
[Settings2] ZoomTooltipTimeout=3200; in [ms]
A setting of zero (0) (or less than 100 ms) wil disable the Tooltip display.

Feel free to test the BETA version "Notepad3Portable_5.20.603.1_BETA.paf.exe.7z" or higher.
See "Notepad3 BETA-channel access #1129" or here Notepad3Portable_5.20.603.1_BETA.paf.exe.7z

_Note1:_ "Notepad3Portable PAF" can be used in "2 flavors", see with or without extension ".7z".

_Note2:_ If you follow the instructions #1105, you can also update your "Notepad3 Installer version" with the latest BETA version (see #1129).

Your comments and suggestions are welcome... 😃

Wow, I don't think I've ever had a developer respond/resolve a request this fast in my life. You are very kind, thank you so much!!!!

Ok, I tried the beta, set the zoom to 0, upon startup, the Zoom Tooltip still shows, but only for a 100ms flash... then disappears. I can live with that, but wanted to let you know, it's not quite disabled.

[networkproblemsolver]

Further update -- turns out the "Disable Zoom Tooltip" doesn't work if you open a TXT file from the command line.

If you just run Notepad3, then the tooltip will "flash quickly away" but if you open a TXT file, the tooltip displays for 4.x seconds.

Sorry.

Hello @networkproblemsolver,
unfortunately, I can't reproduce your issue - please ensure you are using the correct version (newer or equal than v5.20.603.1 (BETA)). Maybe your command line path leads to an old version?

[hpwamr]

unfortunately, I can't reproduce your issue

I confirm the statements of @RaiKoHoff , [Settings2] ZoomTooltipTimeout=0; in [ms] is working correctly with "Notepad3Portable_5.20.603.1_BETA or higher and also from the command line for this BETA version or higher. 👍

_Note:_ If you follow the instructions #1105, you can also update your "Notepad3 Installer version" with the latest BETA version (see #1129), also be sure you replace your Notepad3.ini file (installer) or update it with the latest keys.

**_Ok, I have verified the version (below). I am running the 5.20.603.1 beta.

I only have 1 version of Notepad3 installed, the "installer version" but copied the EXE files from the portable.7z file. Also, I use the notepad replacement registry entry, like this:_**

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\notepad.exe]
"Debugger"="C:\Program Files\Notepad3\Notepad3.exe /z"

**_Then, I run notepad from cmd line or gui to get Notepad3. Now I get the zoom tooltip all the time for 5 seconds... : (

Note that I only updated the EXE files, I did not update the INI files from the portable.7z_**

Note that I only updated the EXE files, I did not update the INI files from the portable.7z_**

Question: If you do NOT update the Notepad3.ini file of the installation version, how can Notepad3 (Setup version) take into account this new parameter "[Settings2] ZoomTooltipTimeout=0;" 🤔
See "Note" in #1105 to properly update your "Notepad3.ini Install version file"

[networkproblemsolver]

I misspoke, I added the [Settings2] ZoomTooltipTimeout=0; line. I meant I didn't update the INI files from the .7z file. I'm going to uninstall and re-install.

In attachment a pristine "Notepad3.ini" for "Notepad3 Setup version "Notepad3Portable_5.20.603.1_BETA or higher"

_Attachment:_ Pristine Notepad3.ini (Installer version - Notepad3Portable_5.20.603.1_BETA or higher).zip

[networkproblemsolver]

Ok, after uninstalling the "installer version" and just installing the PAF version in my D:\PortableApps folder... the Zoom Tooltip has gone away (disabled by the new configuration settings2).

Thank you so much.

[hpwamr]

In a short time, I will publish new "Notepad3_BETA Installers" with all the new features and among others

• [Settings2] ZoomTooltipTimeout=3200; in [ms]
